Playing Tips

The hilly, strategic layout rewards accuracy off the tee more than raw distance, so prioritize placement over power.

Bentgrass greens are true and can be fast with subtle breaks, so play conservative approach shots below the hole and read putts carefully.

Pay attention to elevation changes and adjust club selection on uphill and downhill approaches to avoid coming up short or overshooting greens.

Take time on the signature short hole inspired by Augusta, where precise club selection and trajectory control are essential to save par.

Winds can shift on exposed high points, so check conditions at each tee and factor breeze into your shot shape and club choice.
